    As good as I can find.

    This is a very nice piece of ergonomic equipment. As I only use the larger Kensington trackball for my desktop, I find that the scrolling action leaves a lot to be desired. But, it serves very will and is comfortable for a left handed person.

    OK pointing device, Better choices exist today

    works as a reliable pointing device. that's about it. Scroll ring is erratic at best and frustrating the rest of the time. no physical middle mouse button. Clicking both the left and right buttons to simulate middle mouse is problematic and leaves the user frustrated. At the time I started purchasing trackballs instead of mouse pointing device, I had developed carpel tunnel in my right arm and wrist and fingers and this was one of the better choices out there at that time. Now I would not recommend this as there are much better options in the marketplace.

    Best one yet

    I've used trackballs exclusively since they were invented. This is the best one yet. Who knew wireless was so good? Everyone but me apparently. Love it.

Kensington - Orbit Wireless Trackball with Scroll Ring, 40mm Ball, Adjustable 400 to 1600 dpi, Ambidextrous - K72675WW - Wireless - Black

The Kensington Orbit Wireless Trackball with Scroll Ring is a stationary pointing device that replaces mouse movement with fingertip control of a 40 millimeter ball, suiting designers, editors and analysts working at crowded desks or on ergonomic keyboard trays. Because the base stays planted, the wrist and forearm remain still while the fingers do the work, which appeals to users managing repetitive strain and to anyone with limited desk clearance. A scroll ring encircles the ball for one-handed vertical navigation through long documents, timelines, code files and web pages, a smoother motion than a notched wheel across page-length travel. Optical tracking reads the ball rather than the desk surface, and pointer resolution steps through 400, 800, 1200 and 1600 dpi so cursor speed can be matched to spreadsheet detail work or wide multi-monitor sweeps. Dual wireless connectivity offers both a 2.4 GHz receiver link and Bluetooth Low Energy, and traffic is protected with 128-bit AES encryption for corporate environments that enforce wireless policy requirements. The ambidextrous layout serves left and right handed users equally, and a detachable wrist rest attaches at the front edge for added support during long sessions. Free KensingtonWorks software assigns functions to the programmable buttons, saving shortcuts for applications such as photo editors and browsers. Finished in space gray, the trackball works with Windows and macOS computers and installs with no drivers required.

Questions & Answers
  • If this isn't the picture of what's really for sale, what does the Kensington trackball mouse really look like?

    the picture i saw looks kinda like the trackball mouse. the photo just makes it look taller than is is for some reason it's a decent mouse for someone with smallish hands. Not quite so much if you have large hands as i do. it works good but i have to shift my grip frequently to click on the buttons. That could be partially from the old trackball mouse i had that was fat in the back and skinny in front. This one is skinny in the back and fatter in front.

  • Is this smaller than the MX ERGO? I bought the MX ERGO and I liked it but it caused me pain as my hand is small and had to return it, I would like to know if this mouse is smaller.

    It's 4" long, about 1 1/2 " high, the back is 2" wide and the front where the ball is, is 3" wide. I have a small hand, and it is small enough for me.

  • Less question than observation: At this writing there is a picture of Griffin's PowerMate controller on the Kensignton Orbit product page.

    Yep! Don’t know where the trackball picture is!

  • I have a large hand. Reviews suggest that this mouse is good for small hand. Which trackball, with finger, not thumb, control, would be better for a large hand?

    For larger hands, I always prefer the Logitech TrackMan Optical. It uses finger control of the ball instead of the side-ball for the thumb. I find that I have better control with fingers on the ball than thumb. Bought my first one (wired) in 1996 and it still works perfectly after all those years of almost daily use in CAD applications.

  • I don't see a scroll wheel. What part performs this function?

    The scroll wheel function is handled by sliding your finger up or down on either side of the collar surrounding the ball. In the photo the collar looks silverish on the one i have its black and slippery. occasionally it requires you to slid your fingers on both sides at the same time to make it work.
